When I opened my eyes, he wasn't there and a waft of reliefed spread across my body and I thank Goddess Venus for listening to my prayers and I rolled down on the other side of the car and got up on my feet and dusting my clothes off I looked back and the door of the house opened. He must be went inside and before he found out that I wasn't there. I should be leaving. Well, I was limping towards the main gate. The gate opened automatically and I paced out of the house on to the street. I stopped a taxi and opened the car door and climbed inside the car. " Where you want to go madam?" " Linkage road house 402, I am in a rush moved fast." I've told the taxi driver to move fast and he hit the gas pedal... As the car moved forward so as my worries. I took a deep breath and lean my back against the car seat and thought, " I will never forget his face in my life and I never want to see him around me or ever again in my life. It was like scary experience of my life but thank god it's over." I didn't even dare to look back and just sit silently and stare down at my hands and found that I was still holding the phone. And it felt like a nightmare comes to the end but another was started. My father, and I don't know if Cassy came back home last night and how was she? I don't even know if she was okay. Last night she wasn't in a good condition and what about father? what if he found out that cassy and I were missing from last night. I was seriously preparing myself for the worst situation possible. If father knows that I am not in my room that's means nobody is going to save me from his rage. I felt as if he were under an intolerable physical strain, as if my body were likely at any moment to fly to pieces. Other strange physical symptoms came to trouble me. An unpleasant odour lingered in my nostrils, as if I could literally smell the sulphur of the pit; and I had from time to time the curious illusion that my flesh was turning black. I had to look continually at my hands to be sure that it was not so. Nightmares troubled me, waking and sleeping - and one bad dream conjured up another, running from box to box to release its fellows. The world around me seemed to have become equally mad and hateful. I was sitting nervously and until I reached at my destination. " How much do you want?" I asked the cab driver. " That would be 124.63 dollar Ma'am." he replied and I don't have money with me but only have a phone which wasn't mine. " I don't have money but I have this phone. You can sell it." I said and handed the driver the phone and he took it from me without any questions. I opened the car door and hop out of the car. I didn't see my wagon there and automatically, that's means Cassy didn't come back from valentina's mansion last night and I wander where could father be? I plodding my feet on the pavement making my way to the front door and I was just praying that father be not at home and not know anything about last night. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door, hoping to see Caden but when the door opened I looked an old woman, and indeed she was; aunt Fiona.I thought she might be weaker, for her age was surplus . She had winkles on her face, with a few teeth on her mouth.Her grey hair was shining bright in the sunshine! She was holding her cane in her right hand. " Well, well look who we got here? Aisling, my child last time I have seen you when you were a pup and look at you right now. All grown up but... she paused and her eyes travel down to my bare feet, back to my face and she continues, " What have you done to yourself? you are looking like a truck got run over you." She started touching my face with her bony fingers roughly. " Where is father? I asked her. " Your father and I waiting for you since the morning but you weren't nowhere to be found." she said while showing her crooked teeth and I didn't let her speak anything further and just straight went inside and found father sitting in the living room all by himself. And I turned to look in the hallway where I found my two suitcases and I thought, that wasn't a good news. I went inside the living room to talk to father about his decision. I cleared my throat to speak " Father, where is Caden and cassy?" His gaze leaped from the floor to me, his eyes were full of rage because it was radiating into the entire room. He got up from his rocking chair. "Forget about them,Where were you at? he asked me in a cold voice. " I-I...I went to the store to buy bread." I lied to him and he was slowly making his way to me. " And who gives you the permission to go out without my knowledge." His teeth are grinding together. " Father, you were sleeping so, I don't want to disturb you. I decided to go to the store by myself." I know, I can't lied to father and I never good at it. " So, did you get bread for us?" he asked me. " Umm, no. I didn't get bread." I forgot about it. I couldn't say any better lie. " If you went to get bread then why don't you get the bread and what happened to your knee." he asked me. I looked down my bandage knee and it was bleeding again. I didn't realised it. I guess, I was so caught up in my worries that I didn't feel the physical pain.
